This accumulation of I smoking pipes in thedrawings, but I do not nleotinewill not interfere with the draught Irestrict myself to the use of the invention of the plpe because thesmoke will pass from 46 in these particular forms. The stem has a thebore-8 through that part of the passage bore 8 and the bit has a bore 9,which register 19 above the inner tube 16 to the opening and form acontinuous smokepassage. The 20. That part of the inner tube 16 from thebore 8 is enlarged at 10, and this enlarge- Q'plug 17 as far as may benecessary towards ment extends fromthe free end of the stemthe opening.20 constitutes a trap for the to the shoulder, 11, which is locatedbetween saliva, which may flow into the bore .9 and I the free end ofthe stem and the bowl at the inner tube 16 from the mouth of the smoker.other end of the stem. 1 The bore 9 in the This saliva will collect inthe'inner tube bebit is enlarged at 12 and this enlargement ginning atthe plug and the plug is sulfi extends from the outer end of the bit tociently distant from the'opening 2O to form- 55 the shoulder 13 which islocated between the an ample saliva trap. The construction is outer endot'the bit. and the mouthpiece 14. such that nicotine will be trappedbetween the bowl and the mouthpiece and the smoke drawn through themouthpiece into the mouth of the smoker will be clean and free fromnicotine; and also Whatever saliva flows into the pipe from the mouth ofthe smoker Will be trapped in the tube 16 and Will not be drawn backinto the mouth of the smoker because the outer end of the saliva tube isclosed by the plug and the smoke inletfZO is nearer the mouth Off thesmoker than the saliva trap. The bit can be easily removed from the stemleaving the outer'tube in thestemand the inner tube in the bit, or. theouter tube maybe removed from the stem and the inner tube maybe removedfrom the bit if desired for cleaning purposes. The plug l7 removablefrom the inner tube to permit the insertion of a cleaner.

The construction shown in. Fig. 3 diil'ere from that she vn in Fi 1 onlyin the respect that instead of making the smoke passage 19 by arrangingthe inner tube within and spaced from the outer tube, ll provide anouter'tube 21 with a thick ivall and bore this Wall at the top of thetube to provide a smoke passage 22 Which extends entirely through theouter tube and has a side opening 23 registering Withaside opening 24:in the inner tube 25 to permit the smoke to pass through the bore 22into the inner tube. The outer tube 21 is also shorter than theoutertube 15 to provide an ample nicotine trap 26. The bit can be easilyseparated from the stem and the outer tube can be separated from the bitto permit cleaning the nicotine trap 26 and the bore 22, and thefriction cap 18 can be removed from the tube25 to permit cleaning thesaliva tube and the bore in the bit.

My invention can be applied to pipes of different sizes, shapes andmaterials; it is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, andeasy to use. The nicotine and saliva traps prevent the smoker fromdrawing the nicotine and the saliva into his mouth under usual smokingcondit ons, and this 1nsures a clean, relatively dry and pleasant smokeat all times. It is a Well known fact that in the case of many smokerssaliva flows from the mouth of the smoker into the pipe and this salivatravels down the smoke passage and mixes With the nicotine and is'oftenj pipe or the passage of the smoke.

I claim: g

1. A smoking pipe comprising a stem and a bit connected together andhaving a smoke passage therethrough, said stem and bit hav-- ing alignedenlarged borcs vith shoulders at their inner ends, an outer tubularmember seated in said enlarged bores and having its open ends abuttingsaid shoulders, said tubular member constituting an intermediate portionof the smoke passage, and a tubular member seated-in the smokepassage ofthe bit and projecting into that portion of the outer tubular memberseated ini the stem and forming a saliva trap. Y

2. A; smoking pipe comprising a. stem an a bit having an enlarged alinedbore forming a continuous chamber, said stem and bit adapted to abuteach other, a tube fitted in said bore and adapted to be fixed toone ofsaid'members to strengthen the pipe and to hold the stem and bittogether, atubular member in the bit and extending insaid first tube,said second tubular member having an opening in the top thereof.

3. A smoking pipe comprising a stem and a bit having an enlarged borethereimand forming a continuous smokechambe'r, a hollow metal insert insaid chamber frictionallyengaging one ofsaid parts for holding the stemand bit together, a second hollow metal tube fixed to the bit andextending near the end of the enlarged bore in the stem, anda removablecap for said second tube and forming a saliva chamber, said second tubehaving a hole in the top thereof near the-end .of the bore in the bit.
